Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. All the broken hearts and the unpaid dues. What you did to me, what I did to you. I ain't mad at you, boo. So what we gonna do?.
Sittin' restless under the moonlight. I know I'm getting ready to kill. They say we're going in with the day light. I don't want to but I will. . Cause I won't know the man that kills me.
[Chorus:]. I think I would, if I could kill the emperor. Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor. Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries.
Change your look, cut your hair. And I pretended like I don't care. Your so lovely girl, stop crying. Bite my lip, I close my eyes. Try to tell myself your no prize.
Government man keep calling my house. Talking 'bout I owe, harassing my spouse. Gotta park my truck on another block. 'Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock.
(You got it). (You) (you) (you) (you got it). (You got it). . (You got it). (You) (you) (you got it). (You got it). . Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme.
We're gonna be breakin' it down (Yeah!). You gotta know the feel. You gotta know the life. You know what I'm sayin' (Hey!). . I said what's goin' wrong.
Watching the sun shine, peaking over the sky line. Thinking I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time. Want to get near it, close enough to fear it, close enough to hear it.
They go one for the Prophet, two for Islam. Three for the Khutba from the Imam. Four for the mother that birthed my frame. Five for the father 'cause he taught me game.
Hey, yo yo Everlast. What up?. This is big Guru from the Gangstarr, you know what I'm sayin'?. Just checkin' in on ya. Yo, I heard about your accident, I want.
( *fading in* ). (Na na na na, na na na na, he he hey, goodbye). (Na na na na, na na na na, he he hey, goodbye). (Goodbye). . [ VERSE 1: Everlast ]. Goodbye, it's over, it's through and done.
I see everybody rockin' the same old style. And everyone's sportin' the same profile. And all of y'all wearin' the same name brands. I hear everybody jackin' these played out jams.
I said God want to fill my heart, the devil want to wear my skin. Time to get the party started, everybody jump in, you got it. God want to fill my heart, the devil want to wear my skin.
Please, please, please don't. Leave me now, girl. After all I've done for you. . On my knees here. Let's work it out, woman. After all that we've been through.
Check, uh huh. Check check y'all. . Yo Whitey Ford's the name. The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Couldn't get more bent when it's time to represent. I control it like rent in a slum tenement.
I hear the train a comin'. It's rolling round the bend. And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,. I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
There's a sickness in my soul. And I don't know but I been told it's incurable. There's a darkness in my heart. Slowly tearin' me apart, it's unbearable.
"Everything must change". . Ends, some people will rob their mother. For the ends, rats snitch on one another. For the ends, sometimes kids get murdered.
Please, please, please don't leave me now girl. After all I've done for you. On my knees here, let's work it out woman. After all that we've been through.
Girl, I wanna die in yer arms tonight. I really don't care about the wrong or right. The fruit is forbidden but it's sweet and it's ripe. I think I'm gonna pick me some and take me a bite.
